#721 – Chip Design for Fun (and Waffles) with Julia Desmazes | The Amp Hour Electronics Podcast
Julia Desmazes joins Chris to discuss designing chips for fun and getting an entire design done in 2 weeks to make a tapeout deadline. Julia built accerlators and has continued to dive deeper into on and off chip tooling for greater visibility into the silicon she gets back from the fab.

🤦‍♂️ Electric Motorcycles are a Security Nightmare

Zero Days: Electric Motorcycles are a Security Nightmare: This post was adapted from a talk given by myself and Mitchell Marasch at BSides Seattle 2026 on behalf of Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity North America, formerly Security Innovation
Motorcycles are cool. Electric motorcycles are even cooler, especially if you’re a filthy ecosocialist like me. Unfortunately, like any new and developing technology, they are plagued with security vulnerabilities purely due to the fact that they’re too new to have been subject to as much malicious scrutiny as older technologies. Around the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026, Mitchell Marasch and I performed a security assessment of the Zero Motorcycles Android app, which quickly balloon…

🚯 Junkyard Computing: Repurposing Discarded Smartphones to Minimize Carbon

Figure 3: Results of a thermal stress test. The top graph shows the temperature internal to each phone (colored lines) and the ex- ternal air temperature (grey line). The bottom graph shows the test job latency. For both graphs, the green line is the Nexus 5; other col- ored lines are the Nexus 4s. The horizontal dotted lines at the ends of the Nexus 4 curves represent the device shutting itself off.

Junkyard Computing: Repurposing Discarded Smartphones to Minimize Carbon
1.5 billion smartphones are sold annually, and most are decommissioned less than two years later. Most of these unwanted smartphones are neither discarded nor recycled but languish in junk drawers and storage units. This computational stockpile represents a substantial wasted potential: modern smartphones have increasingly high-performance and energy-efficient processors, extensive networking capabilities, and a reliable built-in power supply. This project studies the ability to reuse smartphon…

Building a FOSS live streaming camera
I have used a lot of cameras but never made one myself. Specifically one optimized for live streaming so it just outputs the camera feed over HDMI.
